Linking to clinical decision support

Abstract

Computer-implemented methods, systems and computer-storage media that provide a link to a clinical decision support event interface are described. Clinical information for a patient is received and compared against one or more rules associated with a clinical decision support even. It is determined whether at least one of the rules associated with the clinical decision support event have been satisfied based on the clinical information. A clinical decision support event user interface is generated for presentation utilizing the clinical information for the patient. The user interface includes at least a portion of the clinical information for the patient and clinical advice based on the clinical information for the patient. A link to the user interface is displayed to a user.

1 . A computer-implemented method for providing a link to a clinical decision support event interface, the method comprising:
 receiving clinical information for a patient;   comparing the clinical information against one or more rules associated with a clinical decision support event;   determining that at least one of the rules associated with the clinical decision support event have been satisfied based on the clinical information;   generating a clinical decision support event user interface for presentation utilizing the clinical information for the patient, the user interface including at least a portion of the clinical information for the patient and clinical advice based on the clinical information for the patient; and   displaying a link to the user interface to a user.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein link to the user interface is an HMTL hyperlink. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 receiving selection of the link from the user; and   displaying the user interface to the user.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the clinical information for the patient is received from an electronic medical record for the patient. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the clinical advice comprises a recommendation to perform at least one clinical action. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the hyperlink may be a reference or navigation element. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  6 , wherein the hyperlink is associated with a patient in a list of patients. 
     
     
         8 . One or more computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for presenting one or more user interfaces for displaying a listing of patients who have qualified for a clinical decision support event and a linking area linking at least one patient from the listing of a plurality of patients to a user interface for the related clinical decision support event, the one or more user interfaces comprising:
 a patient list area having listing a plurality of patients, the patients listed having clinical information that satisfies at least one of rule associated with a clinical decision support event; and   a link area linking a patient from the listing of a plurality of patient to the user interface for the patient for the related clinical decision support event, the user interface including at least a portion of clinical information for the patient and clinical advice based on the clinical information for the patient.   
     
     
         9 . The computer-storage media of  claim 8 , wherein the user interface further comprises:
 a clinical decision support event status area for displaying the status of the clinical decision support event for at least one patient of the listing of a plurality of patients.   
     
     
         10 . The computer-storage media of  claim 9 , wherein the status of the clinical decision support event is whether the clinical decision support event has been performed for the patient. 
     
     
         11 . The computer-storage media of  claim 10 , wherein if the clinical decision support event has been performed for the patient, the status area displays the outcome of the clinical decision support event for the patient. 
     
     
         12 . The computer-storage media of  claim 8 , wherein the user interface is displayed on a monitor or other display device. 
     
     
         13 . The computer-storage media of  claim 8 , wherein link area comprises an HMTL hyperlink. 
     
     
         14 . The computer-storage media of  claim 13 , wherein the hyperlink may be a reference or navigation element. 
     
     
         15 . A computer-implemented method for displaying a list of patients qualifying for a clinical decision support event, the method comprising:
 receiving clinical information for a patient;   comparing the clinical information against one or more rules associated with a clinical decision support event;   determining that at least one of the rules associated with the clinical decision support event have been satisfied based on the clinical information; and   displaying the patient in a list of patients who have satisfied at least one of the rules associated with the clinical decision support event;   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 generating a clinical decision support event user interface for presentation utilizing the clinical information for the patient, the user interface including at least a portion of the clinical information for the patient and clinical advice based on the clinical information for the patient.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 displaying a link to the user interface to a user within the list of patients.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the link to the user interface is an HMTL hyperlink. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the hyperlink may be a reference or navigation element. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising:
 receiving selection of the link from the user; and   displaying the clinical decision support event user interface to the user.
